Denim is bigger than ever this year. Literally. From slouchy, low-rise fits to polished bootcut styles (still thinking about Kendrick Lamar’s Celine jeans at the Super Bowl), the 2025 denim scene is embracing the oversized, relaxed look, but with intentional styling. Read on to see what denim trends are in and how to style them.
Wash: From Deep Indigo to Faded Vintage
Dark-wash denim is a definite in, giving a clean yet versatile aesthetic that can be dressed up or styled minimally. A deep indigo wash keeps things polished, while light and faded washes lean into that easy, sun-bleached feel. And for those who love contrast, mixed-wash denim is adding dimension to the classic blue jeans.
Silhouettes: Bigger, Baggy & Bootcut
High-rise skinny jeans are still out. Vogue reports that we’re still shifting away from tight, structured jeans to slouchier, low-slung shapes. Think oversized, low-waisted, and exaggerated wide-leg cuts that give off an effortlessly cool vibe.
Barrel-leg jeans are also having a major moment, which provide a sculptural take on relaxed denim. And let’s not forget about slacker jeans—Vogue describes them as a modern take on bootcut, with a loose, slightly flared fit seen everywhere from Louis Vuitton’s runways to Fendi’s spring/summer collections.
Ripped and distressed skinny jeans are still a no-go this year. Instead, we’re obsessed with denim pieces that look clean, high quality, and in one piece.
How People Are Styling Denim in 2025
Kendrick Lamar pulled up to the Grammys in a full Canadian tuxedo (yes, we’re bringing him up again), and it’s safe to say denim-on-denim isn’t going anywhere. But this season, it’s not just about the usual jeans-and-jacket combo. Fashion Week had it all—acid-washes, skirt suits, oversized everything, and fun pairings like barrel-leg jeans with structured denim corsets. Basically, the double-denim game just leveled up.
Denim skirts in mini, maxi, and midi lengths are still going strong. And for summer? Jorts—yes, long denim shorts—are back, pairing perfectly with everything: blazers, a flirty top, or even a jersey as a nod to the bloke-core aesthetic.
Denim in 2025 is all about balance—relaxed yet refined, oversized yet intentional. Whether you’re reaching for baggy bootcuts, structured dark-wash denim, or head-to-toe Canadian tuxedo styling, there’s a way to make these trends work for you.
